what are the 10 most in demand green jobs currently
Climate change and action against the rapid changes that are impacting climate adversely are in the global top priority now. This has fast tracked also because of recent global events such as extreme weather and soaring gas prices. This has bolstered growth of sectors including renewable energy, environmental science and also forestry thereby creating number of jobs to fill roles in the ‘green sector’. This has also pushed global leaders – both government and corporate – to align their goals towards a sustainable and climate friendly economy.
“There’s more interest and demand for environmental jobs for a couple reasons,” said Valeria Orozco, the director of sustainability at Indeed. “Investors are increasingly asking companies about what they’re doing to address the climate crisis, because science is alerting us of all these issues that could affect business — and investors don’t like risk.”
Orozco continues, “More workers now also want to be part of companies who are making commitments in that space. The Biden administration, too, is talking a lot about investing in climate change solutions, and those investments will require skilled professionals to work toward those solutions.”
